When I've tried tmux, I've found oddities that made it slightly less
pleasant to use with a console screen reader.  I know in my case the
split windows and status bars etc are not wanted.  I wonder if anyone
has tried to work out screen-reader-friendly configurations.  I haven't;
GNU Screen has been good enough for me, and I've used it for many years.
